Frequently asked questions

What is this design?

A nativity stable with Mary, Joseph and the child in the manger, two lambs standing at the door, and gold stars and olive sprigs scattered across a deep green ground. The olive branches are what make it Mediterranean rather than alpine.

Which pieces come in this design?

Table runner, placemat, cloth napkin, tea towel and apron. Everything currently made in this print is on this page.

Is it only for Christmas?

Yes. The nativity scene makes this a Christmas cloth, laid for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and put away again after Epiphany.

What does it go with?

The deep green ground is dark enough to carry plain white or cream china, wood and brass without competing with them. It also sits beside the holly, olive and poinsettia prints in the other Christmas lines.
